So everyone knows LA is the land of Mexican food, right? Well, other than Mexico, ofc, DUH!!

Anyway, LA has some great Mexican food and my LA native friend, Sophia, just introduced us to this Mexican food chain all over LA called Tocaya, which has soooooo many vegan options. Can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now. 

Side note: Wow. I’m so lame. I just translated the word “tocaya” in google translate to make a pun and there is no English translation. Apparently, it roughly means, “having the same name.” Well, ya learn something new every day!

Back to the food. THE FOOD HERE IS BALLER. You MUST order the chips and guac. Not only is the guac fresh and sprinkled with little pomegranate gems, but also, instead of classic tortilla chips (#basic), it comes with the most delicious plantain chips!! I could have eaten a literal bucket of those.

For the main course, we got the Mexican burrito (veganized with tofu and vegan cheese), as well as the mushroom and vegan mozzarella QUESADILLA. Yes, you heard that right. They have vegan quesadillas and they are DELICIOUS. Literally brought me right back to my childhood. Literally forgot how great quesadillas were before I had one here. 

So, if you all are looking for dank vegan Mexican food, this is 100% your place.
